Was Free Republic down again? - (VANITY)

[frogjerk]

I could not get to FR for about 20 minutes. Anyone know if there were problems with the site?

Re 2 and 3: Guilty as all getout. You pegged me! ;-)

I think that one of the mods was charging a zot and cross-coupled the flux capacitors. We'll know for sure in a week or two. (Or we've known about it for the last week or two; I'm not sure which yet.)

[GoLightly]

I don't think we were supposed to say anything about that.

You forgot #4

(4)The minute FR comes back up you post a vanity article asking if FR was off line or down?

[sit-rep]

They using Verio's servers, or does FR have their own servers at Verio?

[GoLightly]

4) Dig through bookmarks/favorites to see if the link to alternate site is there.

Add refreshing modem & doing a ping.

Your #4 is waaaay down the list.

LOL...... If'n that happened then FR maybe down to just a few posters during normal work hours...

That would be an interesting stat to see as to just how many take the boss mans money yet spend hours on this or some other site each month.

This place really slows down after 5:00 eastern. worse after 8:00

We are nothing without validation!

As for the boss man -- I'm it. Yes folks, I really do need an intervention. Instead of calling/emailing/generally drumming up enough business to make rent and pay for my trip to Louisville next week, I am friggin' freepin'.

Where are MY friggin' freepin' 12 steps ?!?!?

What about the muffler bearings? Maybe they were worn out?

[Redcloak]

That's a possiblity; especially if a few bits fell off the hard drive and got stuck in the spindle.

They probably used a left-handed monkey wrench to fix it.

Or a left-handed metric screwdriver...
